A lot of you saw the truck this weekend and I need your opinion. I'm thinking of raising the truck 1" all the way around to create a little softer ride. What do you think from an appearance standpoint?

The roads leading to the Nats (especially in Ohio) were just terrible. I have the regular lowering springs that Boomer sells with his kit that will pick the truck up about an inch. I'm just not sure if I want to mess with stance of the truck. So basically, it comes down to look vs. ride. And not that the truck looks bad sitting a little higher, but other than Wazzup's truck, it is unique.

Before you bother with all of that, why not get a set of QA1's from JMB?

They're fully adjustable, allowing for a more compliant ride for daily driving, or you can tighten them up for agressive driving.

Just a thought.:top:

Well that's definitely a thought, but since I'm trying to sell the truck (at a giveaway price), spending more on it now doesn't seem logical. However, I got some really good ideas after seeing everyone's rides this weekend, so maybe keeping it and spending more is exactly what I should do.:dontknow:
 
Just don't drive to Ohio ;) ;) ;)

I like your way of thinking. Remind me to buy you a banana when we meet.
 
it looks good the way it is, but I love the stance of boomer's. the second I have 600 bucks burning away at my pocket you better believe I'm ordering that kit!

Mike, before or after your sig pic?
 
I love how yours sits now. Looks often sell trucks also. If it comes down to 'I like your truck but it rides a little rough for me' then tell them how, or raise it up for them.

Whichever you do make sure you enjoy it now, cause I think it will be around long!

Well I couldn't stand it; I had to and see what it would look like, and I actually like it just as well. It looks a little more muscular. And the ride is 50% better.

If you think Ohio roads are rough, don't ever drive in Michigan. Ohio is like glass compaired to Michigan.
